"None of England’s fire and rescue services are thought to have direct access to firefighting aircraft." It's outrageous. Make the fossil fuel companies pay. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/country-and-...

Yes he did. As part of an important urgent broadcast, available as: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsTX... He was right to highlight the government's inaction in recent weeks, and the hypocrisy of their BigOil fixation. The many points he made were reasoned and contextualised in people's experiences. 🧵

It’s time to act. And when we do we won’t just avoid the worst effects of climate breakdown - but we will lower bills permanently, help our communities thrive - and give a grounded sense of hope for generations to come.

Scenario: You have been elected to represent a colonised country, with an overall majority for liberation. You asked the coloniser to please stop colonising the country and he said "Bog off". Do you: a) Roll out Plan B and do all you can to resist? b) Post trite nonsense because parents are voters?

John Swinney@johnswinney.bsky.social · yesterday

To everyone who received their exam results today, well done! You have done Scotland proud. Your hard work has paid off and we’ve seen a fantastic set of results. I hope you all get the chance to celebrate today.

WTF every day we’re fed nonsense to deflect from the real reason the world is turning to shite, the insatiable greed and power of the few

War, what is it good for? Profit

Revealed: major oil firms make $93bn profits amid war and climate crisis

Here's the thing. Now they hunt us with drones, and use them to slaughter and maim us. He might have been a farmer in a far away country. He was one of us. And once the powers get away with it once, they've normalised it, they fund it with our tax, trial it, slop it, and find reasons to use it.

Is there ANY chance you might update us on where you are with securing Scottish independence?

The SNP@snp.org · yesterday

Scotland’s exam results are up across the board! Scotland’s young people are achieving vocational and academic excellence.

Well. Humans are now being hunted and slaughtered by drones. In more than one place Five years ago, this would have been a SciFi nightmare This one was piloted. Worse, they can be automated I call on UN to convene and ban this. And expel any country that refuses Among many things they should do

BP's quarterly profits more than doubled to £4.2 billion in the three months to the end of June. These are the profits of war and climate chaos. It's time to make the biggest polluters pay.

It's not moving. I've been watching. Hasn't shifted even an inch to the right. Must be fake.

I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

BP profits more than double to $5.7bn in three months as Iran war sends oil prices soaring - "While BP banks enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price" #energycrisis #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Another banger from Bradford 😂

Bradford District Green Party@bradfordgreens.bsky.social · 2d ago

🗣 "Will you drill for more oil and gas?" Labour: "Blah, blah, blah..." Greens: "No." When Labour can't answer a straight question while our planet burns, you know they are not taking the #ClimateCrisis seriously. Only the Green Party can be trusted to protect people and planet.

🔴 NEW: The Scottish Government says the move was needed to tackle the "administrative burden" caused by the growth in AI-assisted objections to energy projects. Critics say it is a way to mute public opposition. Our latest: http://theferret.scot/ai-ban-emailed-objections-energy-projects

BP annual profits alone would end 10% of world hunger. Let's choose life, people and the planet over extraction, incineration, "growth" and slaughter. news.un.org/en/story/202...

Ending world hunger costs less than 1% of military spending

Ending hunger by 2030 would cost just $93 billion a year — well under one per cent of the $21.9 trillion spent on military budgets over the past decade, according to UN estimates.

1988: Climate scientist James Hansen tells US Senate that climate change means more extreme, weather, eg both droughts & torrential rains Smart people: hm, better build reservoirs 1989: Margaret Thatcher privatises English & Welsh water, thus leaving the building of reservoirs to market forces

Things to blame for wildfires according to right wing client media I’ve seen: 1) summer 2) eco loons 3) rewilding 4) migrants 5) forestry management 6) arsonists Things not to blame: Just one - climate change. They are out of their minds.

It is a bit complex. a) Folk: plural noun for People b) Folk, as in Her ain folk: a particular kind of people c) Folks: Parents, as in Are the folks at home? Hence meet the etc. d) Folks: Interpellation. Hey, folks, listen up! But NEVER e) Folks: plural for People. Unless you are FSAn.🤢
